Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 257 Expansion Plan Discussion

Facing everyone's gaze, Chief Rabbit panicked for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the eyes of the people around him gradually changed.

It was the look of an idiot.

Seeing the embarrassment shown by Chief of Staff Rabbit, Karl realized that he had indeed not formally introduced Abadan and Loken.

Although this kind of information still needs to be kept secret from the lower-level believers, all the loyalists present are dead, so there is no risk of leaking the secret.

"Cough cough cough."

After intentionally coughing twice to break the slightly awkward atmosphere, Carl took advantage of the situation and moved in front of Abadan.

"It is indeed Abaddon, but you may consider him a member of the Loyalists."

As he said that, he pointed to Chief of Staff Rabbit, who was still a little puzzled, and said, "In fact, his situation is basically the same as yours."

At this moment, Chief of Staff Rabbit finally realized.

Just now, he had been fighting wits with the air for a long time.

And when he thought about it carefully, he was still the one with the lowest status in the audience.

After all, such a thing as surrender is always a bit disgraceful to say.

But this can't stand him being thick-skinned enough.

Back then, he was also a character on Istfan No. [-]. How could the matter of an adult be called surrender? It was obviously "abandoning the dark and turning to the bright".

It's not too late to find your way back.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Chief of Staff of the Crusaders."

Immediately put on a smiling face, Chief of Staff Rabbit didn't mind the embarrassing scene just now, and directly performed a face-changing Sichuan opera.

Seeing this, Karl can only say that the face-changing is still a talent from Tzeentch's family.

One second he had an expression of being terrified of death, and the next second he directly performed a thigh hug.

Fortunately, Abaddon is not such a preoccupied person, or he thinks that being misunderstood as Abaddon does not blame other people.

Although the two have cut their souls to a certain extent, Abbadan is very clear about his position.

He will always be on Horus' side.

Unlike other loyalists, this is also the characteristic of Abbadan --- incomplete loyalty
Fortunately, for now, Karl, who holds the fate of Horus in his hands, is the spokesperson of the will of the Warmaster.

Therefore, Abadan went forward and bowed down in a ritual, and shook hands with the Rabbit Chief of Staff who reached out to show the most basic respect.

"Okay, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it's time for us to discuss the business."

Taking the initiative to walk to the center of the crowd and the just-started Dreadnought Mech, Karl raised the tablet in his hand.

After a while of operations, a map appeared in front of everyone.

(Area C: secondary area) --- B-13 hive capital (completely controlled) --- B-23 hive capital (destroyed) --- B-33 hive capital (steel and casting hive capital) --- (Zone A: Royal Family)

Area C: The next-level hive capital group, the defensive PDF forces are generally relatively weak, and there is no need for the main force of the Crusaders to go there.

Hive Capital B-13: The current Hive Capital has basically completed the initial restoration of order.

Hive Capital B-23: It was destroyed by an unknown force and has become a ruin at present, but there may be a certain number of survivors after investigation.

Hive Capital B-33: Steel and casting hive capital, an important confluence point connecting Area B and Area A, due to the interruption of communication, we currently know little about its status.

But according to the records, as the portal node of the royal hive area, there are a large number of PDF troops and an extremely terrifying fortress-style defense area.

"This is most of the information we have collected so far. You must have seen some of it before, and then we need to decide the next step."

Putting his hands together, Karl started to desert after assigning the task.

On strategy, he may be able to give some wonderful ideas;

In terms of wisdom, he may be able to come up with some gadgets that are so dark that the dead spirits call them cheating;

In terms of strategy, he can even directly open an abyss of wisdom to cheat.

But Karl knew very well that if he was the only one, he would definitely be unable to defeat the aloof four gods.

Or even if it is possible, the power called "Final Yan" will eventually bring about unacceptable consequences just like its name.

At this point, the Emperor had already reminded him once in "Petronella's Notes".

Therefore, no matter how powerful Carl is, he still wants to add a little more value to the independent multiplication area of ​​​​"teammates".

This is also an important reason why he wanted to bring Drake, who was in charge of military strategy, and Rabbit Chief of Staff to the meeting this time.

Otherwise, he could just draw up a big overall strategy like the Seed of Hope plan, and then just throw it to Teska and it's over.

But there is also some bragging water mixed in here.

After all, compared to Karl's command skills that he stole from the wolves before, Abadan and Loken, who have been immersed in this way for many years, still have some advantages of "specialization in skills".

As expected of the former King Jiji, Abadan was the first to give a slightly radical plan.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, we should give priority to going to the B-23 and B-33 nest capitals along the railway line."

As he spoke, he drew a line on the flat map, encircling the most critical piece of information - the portal node of the royal hive area.

"In this way, we can go to the power center of Frank No. [-] as quickly as possible."

After finishing speaking, Aba Dan made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Obviously, he is very dissatisfied with this group of nobles who sit back and watch the corruption and famine spread.

However, no matter how you look at it, this all-or-nothing approach is a bit too radical.

Hastily pushing all the hole cards into a completely unknown war zone, at least Loken did not agree with this plan.

"Maybe we should be more conservative. I think there must be something strange about the B-23 hives that were inexplicably sacrificed before." With a different color, Loken drew a big picture on the ruins of the B-23 hive capital. blue circle.

"I propose to give priority to rescuing the survivors in the B-23 hive, and take advantage of the time to save people to go to the B-33 hive to investigate the real situation before making the next step."

And after Abbadan and Loken finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Chief Rabbit and Drake who had been "canned".

After a flash of electronic eyes, Drake also gave his own suggestion.

"Maybe Area C is our breakthrough point, because only when facing these hive capitals can the food in our hands become an overwhelming advantage."

As Drake's voice fell, Karl helped him draw a circle on the map representing the vast sub-hive group.

Indeed, the comments made by Drake gave him a new way of thinking.

Because the nobles basically dragged their families and squeezed towards the royal hive capital at the first time.

Judging from the list of supplies carried by the group of nobles who planned to run away in the B-13 hive capital, the food they brought over in the first wave is definitely not a small amount.

From this point of view, at least in the short term, the cascading effects of the food crisis will not affect the royal hives at all.

Therefore, the card of unlimited food in Karl's hand is not enough for the royal hive group in a short time.

But thinking about it the other way around, if you focus on those hive capitals in Area C, the situation will change.

In a hive world whose environment has completely collapsed, the natural production of food is almost impossible.

Therefore, for every additional bag of food on the trains of the fleeing nobles, the abandoned hive capitals of Area C would lose one bag of food.

Just like the B-13 hives whose order collapsed almost instantly, it is not difficult for Karl to guess the real situation in these hives that are on the verge of collapse.

Maybe the data here will be more or less different, but overall it is not too different.

"There is indeed some truth, so what do you think, Chief of Staff."

He turned his head and asked Karl, the last participant in the room who hadn't made any comments yet.

Hearing this, Chief of Staff Rabbit was stunned for a while.

He did have an idea, but there seemed to be an important link missing from the idea.

If this condition cannot be met, then the plan in his mind that seems to kill two birds with one stone cannot be realized.

At this time, looking at the somewhat hesitant Rabbit Chief of Staff,
"Let's talk about it, even if it doesn't work, it can be used as a reference."

Finally, with Carl's promise not to pursue responsibility, Chief of Staff Rabbit also became bold.

"I think you can have everything."

As soon as this remark came out, although it could not be said that the audience was shocked, it somewhat provided everyone with a new way of thinking.

Indeed, for the church and crusaders at this moment, a multi-faceted attack may face some situations of insufficient strength.

But if you count the personal abilities of everyone present, perhaps there will be a new solution to this problem.

Finally, everyone somewhat respected the rabbit.

If you only look at military strength, then according to the ideas of the other three people, you can indeed start to weigh the optimal solution.

But sometimes, in addition to war, there are many other ways to achieve the goal.

=War is always an extension of politics=
"While making the most efficient use of the food advantage to annex the surrounding Hive City in Area C, the Crusaders can still squeeze out a part of the troops that are sufficient to maintain the daily order of the entire Hive City."

After a little deliberation on the words, Chief Rabbit gave his suggestion indirectly.

He didn't dare to say directly to Carl, or the B-23 and B-33 nests are all occupied by you guys.

Therefore, we can only put forward our own views in this way to leave enough steps for both parties.

That is, the main force of the crusaders is temporarily used to annex the surrounding small hives.

As for the hardest bone to crack, it is natural to ask Karl to work harder.

This is the optimal solution given by Chief of Staff Rabbit, who has witnessed Karl killing all directions by himself.

The only pity is that this plan has a fatal problem.

"But if the troops are divided, how will the small crusaders get to the B-33 Hive Capital?"

Looking at the deformed map painted with various marks, Loken raised his own doubts.

Due to the fallout from the previous collapse of the B-23 hive, a large number of basic railroads were destroyed.

And even those parts of the railway that were not directly impacted still left a large number of extremely serious hidden injuries.

The length of the road section that is actually damaged by the aftermath may exceed the limit that all constructors can imagine.

If it is really repaired according to the original standard, it is estimated that there will be no splash in the past few months.

So if the crusaders cannot be dispatched on a large scale and repair the railway while marching, they may run out of food in the middle of the journey.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first.

Even if it was the "last stand" people, they had at least had a full meal before going up.

So this kind of division of troops, if it can't solve the problem of railway repair, is basically the same as Drake's point of view.

And, this is only the first step.

"And I don't seem to see any available aircraft on the supply list of the B-13 hive."

Before Loken could finish his sentence, Abbadan jumped out again to give Chief Rabbit a knife from a practical point of view.

Indeed, even if the transportation problem can be solved, how Carl and his party will go to B-33 in advance and complete the seizure of power has not yet been considered.

If you really want to go on like this, the day lily will be cold.

Having said that, Chief of Staff Rabbit lost all confidence.

The plan he had just alluded to was more a whimsical fantasy than an excellent plan to kill two birds with one stone.

The Royal Owners on Frank III have all aircraft management rights.

Aside from the issue of cost, this is also one of the reasons why the hive capitals basically use trains as a channel for exchanging materials.

Of course, there is also a reason why the Frank No. [-] royal family prohibited the opening of these machines that might turn into war machines in order to stabilize the regime.

"Wait, none of this seems to be a problem."

Thinking of this, Aba Dan looked at Karl in the distance as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Lack of flying machines and a lot of manpower to repair the railway?
This is not a problem at all for Carl who has been prepared.

There are technical lunatics who are good at rubbing the top dog, so why worry about vehicles that can't fly?

With the help of the underground Skaven rats who are known as construction madness, their working ability is too underestimated for a railway.

"It seems that we have reached a consensus?"

Looking at the suddenly enlightened Abadan, Karl showed a satisfied smile.

At least in terms of brain, Abadan has made great progress compared to before.

It can combine the existing information and the talents of its own personnel to give the final battle plan.

This is the promotion that Karl has always hoped that Abbadan can get.

In fact, holding the "Astarte Lottery", what he needs most in the future is a thug.

Although Brother Dan is also one of the best in terms of fighting ability, he wants a "black war commander" who can strategize more than a thug Carl.

Fortunately, for now, Brother Dan has obviously made great progress in this regard.

At this moment, Loken and Draco also gradually reacted.

Looking back at the "horror stories" that the idiot told himself, Loken finally realized that the machine was as familiar to Cal as if he had returned to his hometown.

Looking at the Dreadnought on his body, Drake finally realized that transportation was not a problem for Carl at all.

But at this moment, the only thing that seems to be kept in the dark is the proposer of the plan-Chief of Staff Rabbit.

What's going on, what's going on, why does he seem to be the only one who can't figure it out.

Why did the few people look at each other and smile, and those problems that he thought were impossible to solve instantly disappeared?
Rabbit Chief of Staff was very puzzled, so he habitually turned his eyes to his old partner Drake for help.

But at this moment, louder and louder "squeaks" suddenly sounded around him.
